Start a Cybersecurity Career
Security threats are increasing, and the gap between the need for security professionals and qualified IT personnel is the largest of any IT specialty. (ISC)2estimates that there is an unmet need for half a million cybersecurity professionals nationwide.
These hands-on 40-hour courses are designed to help you learn the skills you need to join this fast-growing field.
Security Certification Training at the University of Arizona
In-person classes include 40 hours of in-person instruction, textbook/course materials, and one exam voucher for the corresponding CompTIA certification exam.
CompTIA Network+ and Security+ are internationally recognized, vendor-neutral credentials.
CompTIA certifications are designed to be stackable, so you can add new credentials as you gain skills and experience. They are both part of CompTIA's cybersecurity certification path, a defined IT career pathway from entry level all the way up to CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+).
